excruciating mimicry the story of how he
took Ben Cotton to see quarter of mile
race in Sacramento. The horse was one of
those big animals that can go like the wind
for quarter of mile, but are no good for a
greater distance. The race was against time,
and was set for 10 o'clock in the morning
Ben demurred strongly, because they had to
be called at in order to catch the train to
reach there in time. The weather was very
warm, and the two Alinstrels reached the
track a few minutes bSfore the race began
Billy all enthusiasm over the horse and Ben

when suddenly Billy threw up his hat and

was pulling at a cigar.

moustache is the ladies say, 9 just lovely,
his complexion full Of color, his eyes ron

doesn't do it that way. At least, never saw

rapturous gaze upon the mole on the back of
her neck. Face her like a man whose board
bill is paid, and who is not embarrassed by
consciousness that he is committing bigamy
or some other feIOniOuS OffenSe And when
